据共同社报道，当地时间9月13日，日本防卫大臣浜田靖一在记者会上宣布，他将于13日当天至16日访问美国华盛顿，并于日本时间15日与美国国防部长奥斯汀举行会谈。    (ECNS) -- From Singapore to Vancouver, Mandarin pop stars are drawing crowds abroad, underscoring China’s growing cultural reach. Jackson Wang, Zhou Shen and Silence Wang are among the artists leading the surge in overseas tours.    Chinese promoter CMC Live has signed a two-year partnership with Singapore’s IMC Group Asia to expand shows internationally.        IMC COO Leong Yew Soon said Chinese artists guarantee strong ticket sales in Singapore and Malaysia, while breaking into non-Chinese mainstream markets will take longer.    “Audiences ask if Chinese artists are coming because they know the box office will be stronger,” he said.     CMC Live CEO Hong Di pointed to Wang’s global recognition from his South Korean idol days and English language songs as keys to his success.        He added that language barriers are fading as social media introduces more audiences to Chinese music.    Executives expect Asia’s concert industry to keep rising as new venues open in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, while promoters eye Western markets.    (By Helen Mo & intern Xu Wenda)                    。这是浜田靖一就任日本防卫大臣后首次出国访问，也是他和美国国防部长奥斯汀第一次举行线下会谈。
